We are all aware of the latest updates in Windows sticky notes. While they are handy and will help make our work smoother, we haven’t yet found a much-needed feature: Multi-level bulleting and indentation. We can add bullets in Windows Sticky notes, but only of one type and only one level, while what we need the most are multiple level bullets and indentation, also called outlining.

We work with multiple files daily. File editing and replacing is the most basic work in our daily routine. But this may consume a lot of your time if you repeatedly replace a file, say daily. And most importantly, you want the old file name the same.
Using the standard Windows method, you will spend a lot of time and effort in copying, renaming, replacing, and deleting files. We, therefore, have an alternative software, Copywhiz, that will let you replace an old file with a new file keeping old name intact, in just a few clicks (three, to be exact)!
What is Copywhiz?
Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.
1. Right-click on the file that needs to be copied and choose Copywhiz–>Copy from the menu as shown below:
2. Go to the destination folder, right-click on the file that needs to be replaced and select Copywhiz–>Paste Special.
3. Under the Paste Special, you will find the option ‘Paste as (new file -> old file)’ as shown below.
4. The old file replaces even though its name is unchanged. You will be intimidated with a pop-up, and also, a sound plays indicating the successful completion of a file copy task.
Conclusion
Once you are done replacing a file, come back and follow the same steps for the next file to replace. This way, you can also paste a single file to multiple folders with a different name in each folder.
Copywhiz thus saves a lot of time and effort on the simple yet important task of file replace which would have taken many steps in Windows file copy-paste.

GTD or Getting Things Done is the work-life management system that has helped countless individuals and organizations bring order to chaos. GTD enables higher performance, capacity, and innovation. It alleviates the feeling of overwhelm—instilling focus, clarity, and confidence. You can sort out not only your professional life but also your personal life using this concept.
Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them. That’s why David Allen created Getting Things Done®. He has even written a book on the same. It is a great help when multitasking and relieving the workload.
There are 5 steps on this journey of achieving your goals:
Capture- Collect all that requires your attention.
Clarify- Process them into achievable or not.
Organize- Prioritize your achievables.
Reflect- Keep a check on the progress.
Engage- Put the tasks into action.
Let’s look at this through an example.
You are on your way home from the office and suddenly realize that you forgot to wish your friend, Mike, “happy birthday.” Also, you had to prepare a grocery shopping list for this weekend.
You decide to go home and do this but forget it among the long pile of work. There were lots of unread emails, texts to answer, and house chores too. The next day you ponder on as to why you could not take out time to make just one call to your friend or take out only 10 min to create a list.
This is because you did not capture that thought as soon as you had it.
Capture (collect)
You should have written it down on a piece of paper or your pocket diary or even in your phone for that matter.
All the things that require your attention need to be jotted down or recorded somewhere for you to remember them. The key is to keep it unfiltered and write 100% of everything. Writing down creates a sense of responsibility within you.
However, If you are writing it for yourself then you can simply write them on Notezilla sticky notes.

Whenever you get a thought, create a sticky note on your desktop and write it down there or jot it in the mobile phone app. It may be anything like tasks or ideas or even problems. It could be anything like preparing a presentation for the meeting the next day or a simple thing like spending time with your kids.
You can create sticky notes of different sizes and colors.
Don’t know how to create sticky notes? Just watch this video to learn:
Clarify (process)
Now that you have written down all that you have in your mind, ask yourself the following questions: Is it actionable? If yes, then again ask,” Can it be achieved immediately?” If yes, then go ahead. Do it and clear the task from your list. There may be some tasks that can be put into action, but not immediately. Add such tasks to a “to-do” list. If not, trash it and move on or maybe keep it for future reference.
Organize (place)
Now that you have grouped tasks as actionable and non-actionable, focus on the actionable. They need to be prioritized based on: project, time, and context.
Actions related to a particular project need to be grouped. E.g., party, furniture, and birthdays.
With Notezilla, you can create notes into different folders(memo boards) like “party”, “furniture” and “birthdays”.
Time-specific actions say Mike’s birthday should go on your calendar to achieve them when the time comes. Add the note to the “birthdays” folder where you store all birthday dates. But then what if you forget after storing it there? Don’t worry because you can set reminders to Notezilla sticky notes, which will remind you beforehand.
You can also group actions under a specific context such as people to call or groceries to buy.
Ex: All the things to buy while going out to the mall, can we grouped under the context “things to buy.” It can be related to different projects, like organizing a party and designing your new furniture.
When you go out shopping, you may have things to buy related to many of these folders. To not forget to buy anything, add tags to those notes like “buy,” “call,” etc.
So when you go out, you need to search for notes with the tag “buy,” and all the notes will be displayed together. You can do the same for calls to be made for your different projects.
Reflect (review)
You are bound to forget tasks among your other activities. Come back to your lists once in a while. Check their progress, make changes wherever needed, and review your current status for the goal.
Trash sticky notes once you have finished. They will still be safe on your system under the “trash” memo board, and you can always move them back to your favorite memo boards. You can move notes quickly from one memo board to another.
Engage (Don’t think. Just do it)
And finally, motivate yourself to go out there and achieve your goals.
Tick the grocery list once you are done shopping, call Mike, and offer your wishes.
But you constantly have new tasks coming up under the actionable list. Don’t worry. All you need to do is start the whole process again for each task.
